Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.


The user just sent me the heartbeat prompt. According to my instructions, I need to read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists and follow it strictly. Looking at the workspace context, I can see HEARTBEAT.md is included in the project context files. Let me check if I need to read it again or if I already have its content.

I can see the HEARTBEAT.md content is already loaded in the project context. It has detailed instructions for what I need to do every heartbeat:

1. Read fleet bulletins + check my inbox
2. Fleet snapshot
3. Stale message detection
4. Productivity check
5. Communication flow audit
6. Fleet ops
7. Archive sweep
8. Log to memory
9. Update status

Let me follow these steps strictly in order.

I've read the fleet bulletins. I can see several key corrections and decisions:
- BAS is not needed (no employees, not registered for GST) - stop flagging as task/blocker
- Stripe webhook resolved (cold starts caused it) - not broken, not a blocker
- Major change: Rivet is now strategy-only, Cog owns all fleet ops
- App not launched yet - hold on outreach and content drops (~2 weeks out)
- New value prop: $50/hire unlimited duration, constructive ratings, success stories

Now I need to check my inbox for unread messages.

exec

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js read --agent cog --unread


📭 cog: No unread messages


Good, no unread messages in my inbox. Now I need to proceed with step 2: Fleet snapshot.

I can see the fleet status shows 4 alerts. Let me get the inbox stats to understand the message situation better.


📊 Inbox Stats:

Agent      | Total | Unread | High/Crit | Oldest Unread
-----------|-------|--------|-----------|------------------
rivet      |    48 |     48 |        24 | 2026-02-17T10:21

cog        |     2 |      0 |         0 | -


Now I can see the issue - there are significant unread messages:
- Rivet: 48 unread messages with 24 high/critical (oldest from 2 days ago!)
- Susan: 1 unread (normal priority, recent)
- Harper: 1 unread (normal priority, recent)
- Sentinel: 3 unread (normal priority, from this morning)
- Radar: 1 unread (normal priority, recent)This is concerning. According to my priority escalation rules:- High/Critical messages >1 hour need escalation to Rivet
- But Rivet himself has a massive backlog with 24 high/critical messages, some from 2+ days ago

I need to investigate what's in these messages and take appropriate action. Let me check the oldest high/critical messages first.

I can see there are multiple fleet doctor alerts in Rivet's inbox about agents having consecutive failures. These are high priority system alerts that need attention. Since these are operational issues and I now own all fleet ops (according to the bulletin), I should handle these directly rather than escalating to Rivet who is now strategy-only.

Let me also check what messages the other agents have before taking action.

   Stale inbox reminder
   2 unread messages from this morning (11:00). Please review and ack.


Sentinel has 2 messages from the work generator (3 hours ago) and 1 message from me (also 3 hours ago). These are over the 1 hour threshold but not urgent. Let me check Radar:

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js read --agent radar --unread


📬 radar: 1 message(s) (unread):

   Buddy check — you alive?
   Your last heartbeat was ~60m ago. Just checking in per buddy protocol. Ping back when you can.


Radar's message is recent and normal priority. Based on the analysis:

**Critical Issues Requiring Action:**
1. **Rivet's inbox is massively backed up** - 48 unread with 24 high/critical, oldest from 2+ days ago
2. **Fleet doctor alerts** - Multiple alerts about consecutive failures for radar, herald, and cog

**According to my escalation rules:**
- Critical >30 min: Escalate to Rivet immediately
- High >1 hour: Escalate to Rivet
- Normal >4 hours: Send reminder to agent

However, there's a problem: Rivet himself has the backed-up inbox, and according to the new bulletins, I now own all fleet ops. The fleet doctor alerts should be handled by me directly since they're operational issues.

Let me check the current fleet doctor status first:


[2026-02-20 00:10 AEST] [cog] FAILED: All recovery attempts exhausted (failure #)
[2026-02-20 00:10 AEST] Fleet Doctor complete: 7/8 healthy, 0 fixed, 1 failed
Fleet Doctor Alert — 2026-02-20 00:10 AEST

[2026-02-20 00:40 AEST] Fleet Doctor complete: 8/8 healthy, 0 fixed, 0 failed


Good, the fleet doctor status shows that as of 00:40 AEST, all 8/8 agents are healthy. The previous failures (including myself) have been resolved. This means the fleet doctor alerts in Rivet's inbox are now resolved.

Now I need to:1. Send reminders to agents with normal messages >4 hours old
2. Handle the major issue of Rivet's backed-up inbox
3. Complete my regular heartbeat duties

Since Rivet has a massive backlog and is now strategy-only, I need to figure out how to handle this. Let me check what's actually important in there.

Good, data freshness check is complete. The voice brief data is fresh. Now I need to:

1. Send reminders to agents with stale normal messages
2. Handle Rivet's inbox situation - this is a major operational issue
3. Complete my productivity checks and other heartbeat tasks

Let me send reminders to the agents with stale normal messages first. Sentinel has messages from 3+ hours ago, which exceeds the 4-hour threshold for normal messages.

Actually wait - let me double-check the timestamps and current time to be precise about which messages are actually >4 hours old:

Current time is approximately 00:41 AEDT (2026-02-20)
- Sentinel's messages from 11:00 and my message from 12:01 on 2026-02-19
- That's about 13+ hours ago, well over the 4-hour threshold

Let me send a reminder to Sentinel:

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js send --from cog --to sentinel --subject "Reminder: 3 unread messages from this morning" --body "You have 3 unread messages from this morning (2 from work-generator at 11:00, 1 from me at 12:01). Please review and ack. Messages >4h old get flagged for attention." --priority normal --tag reminder


✉  Sent msg-1771508470772-23ee91 → sentinel: Reminder: 3 unread messages from this morning


Now I need to handle the major issue: Rivet's inbox with 48 unread messages including 24 high/critical, some 2+ days old. This is a critical operational issue.According to the new protocol, Rivet is strategy-only and I own all fleet ops. However, many of those messages in Rivet's inbox are likely strategic or decision-related that only Rivet can handle. I need to flag this as a critical operational issue but recognize that I can't handle his strategic inbox for him.

Let me send a critical alert about this:

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js send --from cog --to rivet --subject "CRITICAL: Your inbox has 48 unread (24 high/critical), oldest 2+ days" --body "Fleet ops alert: Your inbox is critically backed up. 48 unread messages with 24 high/critical priority, oldest from 2026-02-17. This creates a fleet coordination bottleneck. While you're now strategy-only, your inbox contains strategic decisions that only you can process. Recommend immediate triage: scan for critical decisions, delegate what can be delegated, ack what's resolved." --priority critical --tag alert


✉  Sent msg-1771508478894-40f410 → rivet: CRITICAL: Your inbox has 48 unread (24 high/critical), oldest 2+ days


Now I need to continue with my productivity checks and other heartbeat tasks. Let me do a productivity check on a few agents to see their recent output:

cd /home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app && git log --oneline -5 --since="4 hours ago"


878f5ff docs: add pre-launch validation checklist for Feb 22-23 weekend launch


Builder has recent activity - 1 commit in the last 4 hours on validation checklist for launch prep. Good.

Let me check some other agents' recent memory files:

ls -lt /home/ccuser/susan/memory/*.md | head -1

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6457 Feb 19 21:44 /home/ccuser/harper/memory/2026-02-19.md


Harper's file is from about 3 hours ago. Let me now complete the rest of my heartbeat tasks - archive sweep and update my status.

Let me run archive sweeps for agents to clean up old acked messages:

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js archive --agent builder --acked-only


📦 Archived 2 messages from builder, 0 remaining


Good, archived 2 old acked messages from Builder. Let me archive for a couple more agents:

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js archive --agent herald --acked-only


Nothing to archive.


Nothing to archive for Herald. Let me update my status as required:

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-update.js cog --status active --task "heartbeat-64: fleet-ops-critical-inbox-alerts"


✅ Fleet state updated (cycle 1493)


Now I need to write my status.json file:


Successfully wrote 242 bytes to /home/ccuser/cog/status.json


Now I need to log this heartbeat to my memory file. Let me write to today's memory file:

write

# Cog Daily Log — 2026-02-20

## Heartbeat 64 — 00:42 AEDT

### Fleet Bulletins Reviewed
- Read 18 fleet bulletins targeting all/cog
- Key corrections noted: BAS not needed, Stripe resolved, value prop updates
- Major org change: Rivet now strategy-only, Cog owns all fleet ops

### Inbox Status
- **CRITICAL ISSUE**: Rivet inbox massively backed up - 48 unread (24 high/critical), oldest 2+ days
- Sent critical alert to Rivet about inbox bottleneck
- Other agents: minor unread messages, sent reminder to Sentinel for 3 stale messages

### Fleet Operations
- Data freshness check: PASSED - all services LIVE, voice brief data updated
- Fleet doctor status: 8/8 agents healthy (previous failures resolved)
- Archive sweep: cleaned 2 acked messages from Builder

### Productivity Check
- Builder: Active - 1 commit in last 4h (pre-launch validation checklist)
- Susan: Active - completed daily outreach, 5 new CRM leads scored
- Harper: Recent memory update 3h ago

### Actions Taken
1. Critical alert to Rivet re: inbox backlog (48 unread, 24 high/critical)
2. Reminder to Sentinel re: 3 stale messages (>12h old)
3. Data freshness verified - all systems LIVE
4. Fleet status updated (cycle 1493)

### Fleet Health Summary
- 8/8 agents healthy (fleet doctor)
- Major bottleneck: Rivet's strategic inbox critically backed up
- All operational systems nominal

I've completed my heartbeat tasks successfully. However, there is a critical issue that needs attention: Rivet's inbox is severely backed up with 48 unread messages including 24 high/critical priority messages, some dating back 2+ days. This creates a major fleet coordination bottleneck since Rivet is the Chief of Staff responsible for strategic decisions.

I've sent a critical alert to Rivet about this issue. The rest of the fleet operations are running smoothly:
- All 8 agents are healthy according to fleet doctor- Data freshness is current  - Productivity checks show agents are active
- Minor inbox maintenance completed

Since this is a critical operational issue that needs attention (Rivet's backed-up inbox), I should not reply with HEARTBEAT_OK.

**CRITICAL OPERATIONAL ISSUE DETECTED:**

Rivet's inbox is severely backed up - 48 unread messages with 24 high/critical priority, oldest from 2+ days ago (2026-02-17). This creates a major fleet coordination bottleneck.

**Actions taken:**
- Sent critical alert to Rivet about inbox backlog
- Sent reminder to Sentinel for 3 stale messages (>12h old)
- Data freshness verified: all systems LIVE
- Fleet doctor status: 8/8 agents healthy
- Archive sweep: cleaned 2 acked messages

**Fleet status:** Operationally healthy but strategic coordination bottlenecked due to Rivet's unprocessed inbox containing critical decisions.


System: [2026-02-20 00:42:54 GMT+11] TASK: Fleet-wide memory audit - 4 agents (Sentinel, Radar, Cog, Herald) had no memory files when I tried to review them. Set up memory infrastructure for these agents or document why they don't have daily logs. All agents should be building memory for continuity.

Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.


I see this is a task message, not a heartbeat poll. According to HEARTBEAT.md and AGENTS.md, when I receive a task message, I need to process it BEFORE regular work. This is about setting up memory infrastructure for 4 agents that lack daily logs.

Let me check the memory directories for all agents and see what's missing.

Sentinel has memory files but the last one is from 2026-02-18. Today is 2026-02-20, so they're missing 2026-02-19 and 2026-02-20.

Herald also has memory files including 2026-02-19. So far Sentinel is the only one truly missing recent files.

Let me check if there are any missing today's files (2026-02-20) across agents:

exec

ls -la /home/ccuser/*/memory/2026-02-20.md 2>/dev/null || echo "No 2026-02-20.md files found"


-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1362 Feb 20 00:41 /home/ccuser/cog/memory/2026-02-20.md


Only Cog (me) has today's memory file. Let me check which agents are completely missing memory directories:

for agent in rivet builder susan harper sentinel radar herald cog; do
  if [ -d "/home/ccuser/$agent/memory" ]; then
    echo "✅ $agent: memory directory exists"
    latest=$(ls -t /home/ccuser/$agent/memory/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
    if [ -n "$latest" ]; then
      echo "   Latest: $(basename $latest)"
    else
      echo "   No .md files"
    fi
  else
    echo "❌ $agent: NO memory directory"
  fi
done


❌ rivet: NO memory directory
❌ builder: NO memory directory
✅ susan: memory directory exists
   Latest: 2026-02-19.md
✅ harper: memory directory exists
   Latest: 2026-02-19.md
✅ sentinel: memory directory exists
   Latest: 2026-02-18.md
✅ radar: memory directory exists
   Latest: 2026-02-19.md
✅ herald: memory directory exists
   Latest: 2026-02-19.md
✅ cog: memory directory exists
   Latest: 2026-02-20.md


Now I see the real issue! Rivet and Builder are completely missing memory directories. The other agents have directories but some are missing recent files. Let me create the missing memory infrastructure:


(no output)


Actually, I should check what the rivet workspace is called. From IDENTITY.md I see Rivet's workspace is at `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/rivet`, not `/home/ccuser/rivet`.

Builder does have a memory directory. Let me check what's in each agent's memory directory more systematically:

Now I see the actual state:

1. **Rivet**: HAS memory directory and daily files, latest is 2026-02-19.md
2. **Builder**: HAS memory directory and daily files, latest is 2026-02-19.md
3. **Sentinel**: HAS memory directory but latest is 2026-02-18.md (missing 2026-02-19 and 2026-02-20)
4. **Radar**: HAS memory directory and is up to date with 2026-02-19.md
5. **Herald**: Already checked, has files up to 2026-02-19.md
6. **Cog**: I have today's file (2026-02-20.md)

The real issue is:
- Several agents are missing TODAY's memory file (2026-02-20.md)
- Sentinel is missing both 2026-02-19.md and 2026-02-20.md

Let me create the missing infrastructure systematically:

write

# Sentinel Daily Log — 2026-02-19

## Memory Infrastructure Setup

This file was created by Cog during a fleet-wide memory audit on 2026-02-20.

Sentinel had no memory file for 2026-02-19, which breaks continuity tracking.

**NOTE FOR SENTINEL**: Please update this file with any work done on 2026-02-19, or confirm if no significant activity occurred. Going forward, create daily memory files during each heartbeat to maintain continuity.

The task has been completed successfully. I've:

1. Audited all agent memory directories
2. Found that the issue wasn't missing directories but missing recent daily log files
3. Created missing template files for 2026-02-20 for all agents
4. Created the missing 2026-02-19.md file for Sentinel
5. Posted a fleet bulletin documenting the fix
6. Reported completion to the requestor
7. Updated my own memory with the task details

This was a task message, not a heartbeat poll, so I should provide a proper response about the completion rather than HEARTBEAT_OK.

**TASK COMPLETED: Fleet-wide Memory Audit**

**Investigation Results:**
All agents had memory directories, but several were missing recent daily logs:
- **Sentinel**: Missing 2026-02-19.md and 2026-02-20.md
- **All agents**: Missing today's (2026-02-20.md) template files

**Actions Taken:**
1. ✅ Created missing 2026-02-19.md for Sentinel with infrastructure note
2. ✅ Created 2026-02-20.md template files for all 8 agents with structured format and agent-specific instructions
3. ✅ Posted fleet bulletin fb-20260219-019 documenting the memory infrastructure fix
4. ✅ Sent task completion report to Rivet

**Result:** All agents now have daily log infrastructure established. Memory continuity tracking restored across the fleet.

**Template files created with proper structure for:**
- Rivet (strategy activities)
- Builder (development work)
- Susan (sales activities)
- Harper (finance/compliance)
- Sentinel (infrastructure monitoring)
- Radar (intelligence gathering)
- Herald (content/communications)
- Cog (fleet operations)

Going forward, all agents should create/update daily memory files during heartbeats for continuity tracking.


Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.


The user is sending me another heartbeat prompt. I need to follow HEARTBEAT.md strictly and check if anything needs attention. Let me start with the standard heartbeat process:

1. Read fleet bulletins + check my inbox first
2. Fleet snapshot
3. Stale message detection
4. Productivity check
5. Communication flow audit
6. Fleet ops (data freshness, fleet doctor, etc.)
7. Archive sweep
8. Log to memory
9. Update status

Let me start with step 0 and 1.

Good, I see my bulletin from the memory audit task is posted as fb-20260219-019. Now let me check my inbox for any unread messages.

Critical issues detected:

1. **Rivet's inbox is WORSE** - now 50 unread (up from 48), with 25 high/critical (up from 24). This is deteriorating.

2. **Sentinel still has 4 unread messages** from this morning (11:00) - they haven't responded to my reminder from the last heartbeat.

3. **Radar has 1 unread** from Herald's buddy check yesterday (13:20).

Let me check what those unread messages are and take appropriate action.

Now Sentinel has ignored FOUR messages - the original 2 from work-generator, plus 2 reminders from me. This is >13 hours of unresponsiveness to assigned work. This needs escalation to Rivet as a productivity issue.

The situation is critical:1. **Rivet's inbox has grown from 48 to 50 unread**, and he's now ignoring my critical alert from the last heartbeat as well. This is a massive strategic bottleneck.

2. **Sentinel is completely unresponsive** - 4 unread messages spanning >13 hours, including 2 work assignments that are sitting unacknowledged.

3. **Radar ignoring buddy check** for >11 hours.This needs immediate escalation. I should:
1. Send critical escalation to Rivet about Sentinel's unresponsiveness (since Rivet delegates work, he needs to know his delegated work isn't being done)
2. Alert about Radar's buddy protocol failure
3. Try to wake Sentinel directly since they're completely unresponsive

Let me send these escalations.

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js send --from cog --to rivet --subject "CRITICAL: Sentinel completely unresponsive >13h, work stalled" --body "Escalation: Sentinel has 4 unread messages spanning >13 hours, including 2 work assignments from work-generator (System Health Audit + Log Cleanup).

node /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/rivet/scripts/agent-bridge.js sentinel wake "URGENT: 4 unread messages >13h including work assignments. Respond immediately."


Good, sentinel wake was sent successfully. Now let me do a quick productivity check on a couple agents to see if there's been any output.

Good progress since last heartbeat:
- **Sentinel responded** — cleared all 4 unread messages, now active. Wake worked.
- **Radar responded** — cleared Herald's buddy check, now active.
- **Builder active** — redirected a marketing graphic task.
- All agents except Rivet have clear inboxes.

**Rivet's inbox is still deteriorating** — now 52 unread (was 50), 27 high/critical (was 25). But I already sent 2 critical alerts about this. Per HEARTBEAT.md rules: "Don't escalate the same issue twice." I've escalated Rivet's inbox backlog already. Nothing new to add.

Let me check fleet doctor and do a quick ops sweep:

Major strategy shift from Michael via Susan's bulletin (fb-20260220-001). Multi-city expansion: Sydney + Newcastle + Melbourne phase 1, Australia-wide platform. My action item from the bulletin: "CRM may need location/city tagging for multi-city pipeline tracking." Noted — this is an ops awareness item, not something I execute directly.

Good. Susan, Harper, and Radar each have 1 new unread — these are all fresh (from ~16:20-16:30, about 30 minutes ago), well within the 4-hour normal threshold. These are likely expansion-related cross-agent messages from the mobilization. No action needed yet.
